This week begins Kindness Wednesday, the third in a series that so far includes Beautiful Monday and Cultural Tuesday. These are based on the movements of the American Discovery symphony. The goal of this series is to provide a platform for social, positive and active media.
Kindness features a string ensemble to portray good deeds witnessed across America. The movement starts by conveying humanitarian issues America faces, transitions to trail angels encountered during the journey and concludes with a folk song about the many forms of community kindness. At times the instrumentals withdraw to the background as interviews from the journey relate tales of kindness.
This version of Kindness is without the vocals and lyrics that accompany the live version. Here are the lyrics:
Can kindness change the world? Yes it can. Oh yes it can.
Can kindness change the world? You know it can.
It can cure you of a frown, turn your life around.
Can kindness change the world? Yes it can.
Can children change the world? Yes they can. Oh yes they can.
Can kindness change the world? You know they can.
They can show us how to care, with a breath of fresh air.
Can children change the world? Yes they can.
Can a village change the world? Yes it can. Oh yes it can.
Can a village change the world? You know it can.
It can take care of its own, no need to be alone.
Can a village change the world? Yes it can.
Can we all change the world? Yes we can. Oh yes we can.
Can we all change the world? You know we can.
We can feel the pain of others, treat them like our brothers.
Can we all change the world? Yes we can.
